HEROES OF El CASEY COMING

Bee the Exposition.
ARRANGEMENTS MADE TO TREAT REGULARS

The Transmlsslsslppl Exposition will
have as . Its guests today the Twenty-
fourth Infantry , U. 8. A. The regiment of
colored regulars that won such warm praise
from the highest military authorities for
deeds of heroism and valor throughout the
Cuban campaign , particularly at El Caney
and Santiago , Is to stop here on Us way
from Camp Wlkoff , Long Island , to Fort
Douglas , Utah , to see the exposition.
Arrangements for the visit of the brave
tolJlers to the exposition are being per
fected. President Wattles has given his
assurance that the regiment will bo ad-
mltted to tbc grounds free of charge. Cap-
tain Baxter , acting quartermaster of the
Department of the Missouri , says there will
bo no objection to the slight delay
III the movement of the troops In order that
they may see the exposition. The Union I
Pacific railroad has shown Its good will to- I
word the troops by agreeing tt > carry them i
Westward from here after they have visited
the exposition Instead of starting them out
as Eoon as they arrive here.
It Is expected that the Twenty-fourth will
arrlvo here about 9 o'clock this morn-
Ing. The regiment Is traveling In two spe
cial trains , and will como Into Omaha over
the Chicago. Rock Island & Pacific railroad.
The route from New York to Salt Lake City
Is over these lines. The West Shore , the
Nickel Plate , the Rock Island and the Union
Pacific. There Is no great hurry about
the movement as Is shown by the fact
that the soldiers left New York on Sunday
, cvenlnr and will not arrive here until
Wednesday morning. The regiment occupies -
pies two special trains , one of fifteen cars
and the other of nineteen cars.
Will Jimt Let Thfiu VUlt.
So far as Is known now there will be no
special exercises at the exposition grounds
{ In honor of the visiting soldiers today.
U IB thought best to allow all the time to
the men. for them to see the attractions of
tbo big show as they may please. There
I will probably be a parade through the city
I from the Union Pacific depot out to the
exposition grounds following the arrival of
the Boeclal trains In the morning , |
The ootnton of the Twenty-fourth enter- I
talned by the officers who saw the colored I
men fight In the Santiago campaign Is shown '
by the following Interview with Lieutenant
Preston Cartrlght of Roosevelt's Rough
Riders , who took the place of Captain
"Ducky" O'Nell on the dcath/of that officer :
"This little experience at Santiago , to and
from , was simply a gentle reminder of my I
early life on the plains The only complaint - |
plaint I have to make Is that wo were not
as well armed as our antagonists. The
Spaniard , with bis superior gun and smoke
less powder , bad the advantage. There ls
one thing the American people should not
overlook , and that Is that 100,000 volun
teers could never have accomplished at San
tiago what the United States regular army
did. We would have been driven Into the
sea but for the regulars. This country
does not know the debt It owes to the
Twenty-fourth Infantry , colored. "
llecrptloit at Salt l.nUe City.
The citizens of Salt Lake City arc plan
ning a mammoth reception for the Twenty-
fourth on Its return to the Mormon capital.
The reelment was stationed there at Fort
Douglas at the outbreak of the war , and on
Its return will be given a great welcome
borne. Had the original schedule of sending
the regiment through here In the morning
been , carried out the soldiers would have
reached Salt Lake City In the evening , an
Inopportune time for any public reception.
By stopping hero today to spend the day
at the exposition they will arrlvo at Salt
Lake City In the morning , pleasantly breakIng -
Ing the long trip here , giving them their
only opportunity to Bee the exposition and
landing them at their home city In much
better season. The thoughtful change In
the program Is due to the foresight of S. A.
Hutchison , assistant general passenger
agent of the Union Pacific railroad.
The First regiment of cavalry , U. S. A. ,
left Camp Wlkoff , Long Island , yesterday
for the west. The headquarters of the First
will be established at Fort Meade , S. D.
One troop of the cavalry will go to Fort
Nlobrara , this state ; another troop will go
to Fort Roblneon , this state , and a third
troop will go to Fort Washkle , Wyo. These
troops will relieve troops of cavalry belongIng -
Ing to the Eighth regiment of regular
cavalry which are to be sent at otico to
Huntsvllle , Ala.

Attorney General Smyth , W. C. Orr and
other property owners residing on Thirty-
sixth street between Cumlng and California
streets have begun an action In the district
court to have special taxes assessed against
their property In 1889 for the paving of the

GENERAL CHILDREN'S ' DAY
Friday Proclaimed a Holiday Throughout
the State for Schools.
RECOMMENDED TO VISIT THE EXPOSITION
Acting Governor Ilnrrl * lumen Ill >
Proclamation nml Superintend
ent Juckiion Ilrfcen that All
ScliooU Take Advantage.
County Superintendent Bed well says the
Idea of having a school children's day at the
exposition Is being taken up with enthu
siasm by the parents and teachers , and that
the indications are that Omaha will see
one of tht ) prettiest as well as grandest spec
tacles of Its history when the thousands of
school children from all over the state are
gathered at the exposition.
The Idea originated with the Woman's
Bureau of Education , They communicated
their desire to the governor and James K.
Harris , acting governor during Governor
Holcomb's absence from the state , lost no
time In taking action. The result was that
Friday , September 30 , was designated as
school children's day , and a proclamation
was issued by Acting Governor Harris
recommending that that day bo observed as
a holiday generally throughout tbo state ,
and urging upon the school boards , princi
pals and teachers the Importance of en
couraging the attendance of the school chil
dren at the exposition OB that date.
A circular has since been sent out by
State Superintendent W. R. Jackson to all
county superintendents , school boards , prin
cipals and teachers , recommending that they
make It as convenient as possible for the
pupils of all ages to take advantage of a
visit to the exposition on this day , wblrh
he calls children's Jubilee day. He urges
the matter In the following :
To many of the pupils In our schools this
may bo the opportunity of a lifetime. The
exposition is a great educational Institu
tion. It furnishes a line of practical educa
tion that Is noc obtained from ( he study of
books. Thousands of Nebraska choldren
prepared work for our great educational ex
hibit and they should be permitted to visit
the gallery of the Manufactures building
and see the tame. H Is pronounced by
leading educators one of the finest educa
tional exhibits ever displayed. It Is not
often than a state Is favored with such ad
vantages as ore now found within the bor
ders of our state. A day spent In the Government -
ment building alone Is worth more 1o the
average child than several weeks In the
, ordinary routine work of the school room.
| The admission to the grounds for the
children will be only 15 cents , and an effort
Is to be made to have the railroads rcduca
their rates , so as to get as many of th
children her * as possible. All the conces
sions will reduce their prices also.
There Is every Indication that
Friday will see a host of little
ones on the grounds. W. K. Fowler ,
superintendent of schools at Ulalr. will
bring a special train carrying 1,000 children
from that place. Those who would other
wise have been unable to come have been pro
vided for by liberal subscriptions by the
citizens of Blair. The manazement baa
decided that on that day and on October 15 ,
which will alto bo given over to the young
sters , the admission snail be 15 cents tot
children between the ages of 5 and 15 years.
Another movement having the pleasure oC
tbo little ones In view has been started
by the Home Fire Insurance company of this
city. The company has proposed to make
arrangements that will allow the poor chil
dren to see the exposition free. U will rolsn
enouun money by subscription to pay the
expenses , BOO to Its assembling of the chil
dren , pay their street car fare , glvo them
admission to the grounds and provlda
them with lunches while there.
The executive committee has approved ol
the proposal and has made the price ol
admlialon 10 cents. The board has set
October 8 as the date for the outing of thd
poor children of Omaha. It Is expected that
at least 700 will be given one day of plcasura
and light-seeing , '
